Tottenham could make a move for Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey in the summer, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Tottenham had a quiet winter transfer window.<\/p>\n

Despite having some glairing issues in their squad, Antonio Conte and co. left it to the final day of the window to secure signings.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Bentancur was signed on a permanent deal, believed to be around \u00a317m<\/a>, from Juventus whilst Dejan Kulusevski was also brought in from Juve on loan.<\/p>\n

Given the departures of a number of midfielders during January, the signing of Bentancur makes a fair bit of sense for Spurs. How effective Kulusevski will be, though, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

But, at the start of January, neither central midfielder nor the wide attacking berths in Tottenham\u2019s squad looked to be in desperate need of improvement.<\/p>\n

Instead, it was fairly clear that Tottenham needed a right-wing-back and a centre-back or two.<\/p>\n

In the end, after losing<\/a> out on Adama Traore to Barcelona, Tottenham did not sign a right-wing-back.<\/p>\n

However, the Evening Standard<\/a> have provided some insight in Spurs\u2019 pursuit of said position.<\/p>\n

They claim Spurs explored moves for Yannick Carrasco and Djed Spence in January, while Brighton\u2019s Tariq Lamptey is likely to be considered in the summer.<\/p>\n

Lamptey a good fit for Tottenham<\/h2>\n

No further detail is given on Tottenham\u2019s interest in Lamptey, but it seems obvious that the Brighton man would be a great fit for Spurs.<\/p>\n

Lamptey operates in a very similar system to how Conte\u2019s sides are generally set up, providing width and a large part of his side\u2019s creativity as a wing-back in a back-five.<\/p>\n

He is also seemingly much more defensively sound compared to Tottenham\u2019s two current right-wing-backs, Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty.<\/p>\n
